Rotary club
Brown County Rotary Club will meet at 7:45 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 10 at the Seasons Lodge and Conference Center, 560 State Road 46 East.
The guest speaker will be Cassie Stratton, president and lead literary specialist for READy to R.E.A.D., who will discuss helping children in Brown County who are experiencing difficulty in learning to read.
Ready to R.E.A.D. started in 2021 as a response to the lack of availability and of affordability of literacy specialists. It is a tax-exempt under 501(c)3 nonprofit created in collaboration with the Center for Vibrant Schools, an initiative founded by Marian University.
Stratton earned a master of education, elementary education and teaching, from Marian University in Indianapolis. She is licensed or certified in Universal Design for Learning, Orton-Gillingham, and as an elementary generalist K-6, English as a new language P-12, and reading P-12. She is also a reading specialist trained in dyslexia. She has 21 years of teaching experience in places as varied as Indianapolis, Italy, Russia and South Korea.
Members of the community, especially those interested in exploring opportunities to participate in projects and to be of service to our community, are invited to attend. You may join us via Zoom using a link obtained by visiting www.RotaryClubofBrownCounty.org and clicking on the “Contact us” URL.
